The rich text element
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
The adjustment to remote learning and working has been a difficult task, however, my associates at Lloyd & Mousilli have been very helpful in making the process as simple and easy as possible. In my first week,I was tasked with drafting a memorandum on a case Lema is in the process oflitigating. The memo was to focus on whether a co-defendant would be able toremove a case filed in state court to federal court once the defendant wasserved. This was a topic I was familiar with from my civil procedure courseduring my 1L year, however, this memo required me to delve deeper into thetopic.
Charlotte assisted me in getting access to the informationneeded to become familiar with the case. I read the briefs and motions fromboth parties of the case to grasp a full understanding of the issue at hand. Ihad never read a case dealing with trade secrets so I was intrigued by the newinformation and laws I was learning. The most challenging aspect of thisassignment was researching outside of Westlaw and Lexis. In law school, ourresearch mainly revolved around those two sites but Lema made sure to let meknow that it was crucial to look for information outside of those avenues. Irealized that to really delve into the research you need to find the hiddendetails and this takes some patience. For instance, on a few sites, the placeof incorporation for the defendant was listed as California, however, once Ilooked into their tax forms, I found that it was actually in Delaware. Thistaught me to always double and triple check my sources because some things arenot easily detectable.
My second task was assigned by Feras and was more on thetransactional side of the law. This was an interesting experience for mebecause I had never done anything transactional. My task was to look over acontract and detect the terms that were specific to the company and change theminto more general terms so that the agreement could be used for multipleclients. Essentially Feras wanted it to be a template. Megan assisted me a lotin this task because I was unfamiliar with this type of work. She was veryunderstanding and patient with me which I greatly appreciated. I would say thatthis type of task was more tedious because it required great attention todetail. This was a task that required multiple people to look over because itis easy to miss something. Overall this is something that is essential to knowhow to do in the legal field and although tedious, I am happy that I have abetter understanding of the transactional aspect of the legal field.
My best advice I can give is to triple check your sourceswhen researching because it may seem like the answer is right in front of youbut that might not be the case. As future lawyers I think our ability to delvedeep into our research is what differentiates us from other professions. Alsodo not hesitate to ask for help. I could have saved myself more time if I hadinitially clarified some things with Lema or Feras and I wish I had asked morequestions in the beginning. When I asked Megan for assistance with the contractshe was very helpful and I appreciated her clarifying any confusion I had.
This week I had to learn how to balance my work with mypersonal life which was a challenging task. My closest cousin was gettingmarried and I wanted to make sure I was there for her but also needed to settime aside for my work. This is one of the many positive things about havingthe benefit of being able to work remotely and it made me realize how much of ablessing it is to have that option.
My first task was a different memorandum assigned to me byLema. This topic was one that I was more unfamiliar with so it required moreextensive research on my part. This memo focused on pressure wound cases inTexas. I was asked to research different cases involving pressure wounds inTexas, the elements needed to prevail, facts involved in the cases, decidingfactors and verdicts for each case. I enjoyed this assignment especiallybecause I had no prior knowledge of pressure wounds and it was interesting andshocking to see what hospitals were required to do and how many of them wereable to get away with harming their patients. This memo was a little differentfor me because I wasn’t necessarily defending any party but it was more of ageneral research paper. I liked learning to go about a memo in a different typeof format while being completely neutral in my writing.
My second task was assigned to me by Feras and involved thedrafting of an article and operating agreement for PLLCs in Texas. I was askedto research and write an article about PLLCs in Texas. I appreciated thisassignment because I think it is crucial to be aware of the different types ofbusiness entities a company can choose from. I had heard of LLCs but had neverheard of a PLLC and I am grateful to now know the difference between the two. Iwas intrigued to research the different advantages and disadvantages thevarious types of entities had to offer. I was also tasked with drafting asample operating agreement where I was given a PLLC agreement from a differentstate. I had to really read the agreement carefully because there are many lawsthat differ from how Texas deals with PLLCs. This was another assignment thatdealt with more of the transactional side of law and required much moreattention to detail.
My advice is to figure out how to balance your work lifewith your personal life. I know that many attorneys who have children andfamilies have learned to adjust their time to be able to get their tasks done.This is a learning experience and everyone will have something different thatworks for them. For me, I would try and get as much work done as possible sothat I could reward myself with family time. Being able to spend more time withfamily was what drove me to get as much work done as possible. I would set timeaside in the mornings and late at night where I had less distractions. Lemagave me some constructive criticism about how in the real world deadlines aremuch shorter than what we are given in law school and this has been a difficultbut doable adjustment. I am grateful for getting the real world experience nowso that I am better prepared for the future.
